§ Mr. Wainwrightasked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science what is the weight and value of depleted uranium held in stock by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authrity.
§ Mr. Denzil FreethThe Authority is unable, for defence and commercial reasons, to disclose the value or weights of any of its uranium stocks, whether enriched, natural or depleted. In the particular case of depleted uranium, a statement of total weights would give an indication of the total production of enriched material. The current selling price of depleted uranium in billet form is £1 per lb. and stocks are ample in relation to foreseeable demand.
